JFlowers Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I have the combo tool from www.demooner.com and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Knight Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I like this one. I saw one person that had drilled out the handle to let the cases fall out into his brass bag. He never had to tip it over. Made it a lot faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glockwerkes Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 For demooning: 1. homemade tool from a golf club handle (works really well, and cheap. Also makes a dandy place to store your chamber brush) 2. tool from Brownell's 3. combo tool from CCW or mooncliptool.com 4. plier tool from CCW in plastic or aluminum I've used all 4 options, and #1 works great but #4 is the fastest. I started with #1(still use it) and graduated to #4. For remooning: 1. homemade tool from a pair of pliers 2. plier tool from Prudhome (supposedly discontinued), still on Brownell's website 3. combo tool from CCW or mooncliptool.com 4. plastic six positioin remooner from CCW I've used 2-4, and by far, #3 rocks. I could load my old moons by hand (they were pretty well worn) but after getting a batch of new ones, my fingers ached. I got the CCW tool from Dillon, and then found out about moonclip tool.com. I compared the two side by side, and they are carbon copies. Without getting into who copied who, the tools function identically. It has a permanent place in my REVO kit bag. It's worth every penny of $40 plus shipping. Plus, it offers interchangeable mandrels in case you do multiple calibers/guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snertley Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Sort of depends what your shooting. For demooning I use a S.A. 45ACP barrel and for mooning I use my left index finger and thumb. I shoot a 610 not a . YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inkedshooter Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Clipping rounds into moonclips use fingers or stubborn brass use pliers. Demooning use a modified golf club handle like stated already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R112mercer Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Clipping rounds into moonclips use fingers or stubborn brass use pliers. Demooning use a modified golf club handle like stated already. +1. I use a set of channel-loks for the skinny 8-shot 357/38 clips. I bought the Brownells demooner tool when I got into this game, but the golf clup seems like the way to go if I had to start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twister Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I use a piece of plastic water pipe to strip the moonclips. you can pick a piece up at Menards for a couple of bucks. I make the piece long enough to hold 6pcs. of brass. You need a Dremel tool to cut the lip so it fits into the moon clip, then just twist. When you get 6pcs. in it tip it over to empty. Very easy to make, I've made several for my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twister Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I've been using the same one for almost a year now. Shows some wear, but still working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 The golf club handle is the cheap and easy way. I liked using the Hog Ring pliers from Cornwell Tools: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pskys2 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 For Re-Mooning the clips with a .45 I like the CCW Remooner, it will do 2 at once and sure saves a lot of wear on the hands. I also have a TK (I think) thats like a pair of pliers that I carry in my bag, just in case. For De-Mooning I like the CCW Super De-Mooner, again it's quick and less tiresome. I keep one of those that have a hollow tube with a notch in it in my bag, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Griffin Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Here's mine, use a putter shaft instead of a driver shaft, that way it is narrower near the grip: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
